2 Kings 17:16
Ver. 16. And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God,.... Which their idolatry led them to; and indeed he that offends in one point is guilty of them all, Jas 2:10
and made them molten images, [even] two calves; which they set up at Dan and Bethel, in the times of their first king Jeroboam, 1Ki 13:28
and made a grove; as Ahab, another of their kings, did, 1Ki 16:33
and worshipped all the host of heaven: not the angels, sometimes so called, but, besides the sun and moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus:
and served Baal; which was service to the sun, as Abarbinel interprets it; this was the god of the Zidonians Ahab worshipped, having married a princess of that people, 1Ki 16:31.
